Poetry. Criticism. This new collection of writings from Gerrit Lansing combines poems, essays, reviews and "gists." Included are many pieces fugitive and out of print: the secretly influential "Burden of Set" editorials, previously uncollected poems, a generous choice of work from the three editions of Heavenly Tree, and more. Gerrit Lansing was born in Albany, New York, in 1928, and grew up in Northern Ohio.
